Yes. I was at the bowl game where that happened. Still, Barnett ain't Reggie.
Barnett played in an era of much more passing, therefore had much more opportunity. QB's would die if Reggie existed today and was given the opportunity to pass rush nearly every down. Think Babe Ruth. Yes, his homerun record was surpassed, but you gotta realize when he set his record, he had more homeruns that year than some TEAMS. He had twice as many as the guy in second. That's Reggie compared to Barnett. And Barnett was really really good.
Oh yeah..... Amsler. And it ain't close.
